yes. Latin1 is a promising standard but not yet well supported
(dos, unix, gnat etc.). I am just grabbing for my flame-suit ... :-)
An interesting alternative for today's status quo
which I am going to favour is html. It can be handled by our age-old
standardized 7-bit-ascii and has a lot of additional advantages
such as easy conversion to postscript documents by good web browsers.
